Place of Observation
TOO MUCH LEGISLATION.

When we read the announcement that
there were Is, 900 bills introduced into the
Forty-ninth congress. We almost feel like
forgiving that body for its apparent worth
lessness. With $4,000 different measures
pressed upon its consideration, how, in the
name of conscience, was it to lind the time
to separate them, to go over each one and
then determine what to accept and what to
reject. With such stock OF bills piled up
on top of it congress was so well fiattened
ont il didn't have chance to do much.
The only wonder is that it had the energy
IL do anything
This incident seems to illustrate the eX-
tent of the craze for legislation which pre-
walls in this country. People have become
hallucinated with the idea that legislation
is the panacea for all evils, and as result
the grevous curse of the country to-day is
superintendent legislation. We have too
MANY laws The nation is actually
being legislated to death. Every
man who has grievance, no mat
ter what il is, flies to the
legislature for relief. Every crank who
has theory, applies to the legislature to
have it put into practice. Every sharper
who has scheme to work. asks the legis-
lature to give him a boost. And thus it
goes Special interests are attempting to
secure special legislation. until the land
is flooded with laws, good, bad and indiffer-
emf all in heap, until the country is groan-
ing under their weight without any sort of
benefit from them. This condition of af-
fairs has grown out of a misrepresentation
of the design or effect of statutory enact.
ments. Law is more of negative than a
positive force. In no sense is law a Gre
alive power. 1t is prohibitOry rather than
mandatory IN its character. 1t isn't the
purpose of law to say what men should do,
so much as to say what they shall not do.
Law is not spiritual force to create either
good or evil, or to regulate the consciences
of men. 1t can no more amend the normal
condition of mankind than it can make
people physically perfect. 1t is be-
cause of apublic misrepresentation of the
legitimate object of law that this
modern craze for excessive legislation orig
mates. When people once get to under
stand that law, to be effective, is nothing
more than recordation of the will
of the majority, our legislation will be
very much simplifed. A statutory enact
ment does not amount to anything unless it
is faithfully and honestly executed. And
to secure faithful and honest execution,
the law must be in accord with sentiment
already existing in the hearts and minds of
the people. Real law, as it has been de-
fined by eminent authority, is but the ex-
preston in authoritative and accurate form
of the Judgment and desire of the majority.
And when legislative body attempts to
enforce that which is not sustained by pop
ular approval, it is only waste of time and
effort

Chips From the Ties.

Now that the Minnesota g. Northwestern
and the Burlington s. Northern have gone
out of the Freight association it is expected
that rates between st. Paul and Chicago will
go all to pieces. There is no satisfactory evil
dence up to this time that cutting has COM
menced, but there is a great deal of sus-
picion that most of the roads are at it and
that the cutting will be very general.
A special dispatch from Minneapolis to the
Chicago lines, published yesterday, states
that new short line is to be built between
Minneapolis and st. Paul, south of the Mil
waukee & st. Paul road, to cross the river at
Pike island.
The passenger agents on the roads between
st. Paul and Chicago will hold a meeting to-
morrow at Chicago to determine upon the
form of the passenger and baggage tariffs.

CANAL CONVENTION.

The GLOBE publishes this morning the
resolutions adopted by the Duluth chamber
of commerce relating to the critical cond-
ton of the affairs of the Sault Ste. Marie
canal, and proposing a convention during
the coming season of the representatives of
all commercial bodies interested in the
navigation of the great lakes. The propo-
sition is one that is entitled to consideration
and deserves favorable action on the part of
the commercial bodies OF the Twin Cities.
By referring to the statements embodied in
the resolutions, which are derived from Off
cial sources. it will be perceived that in the
immediate future the locks of the canal will
be totally inadequate to the needs of COM
merce, and that serious embarrassments
and losses must occur unless adequate ap-
preparations shall hereafter be made for the
completion of the Improvements at the ear
Hest practicable date. The Duluth chamber
suggests Wednesday. July 20, as date for
holding the convention.

A Strike AyarIed.

PITTsBURG. Pa, March 5.-The threat
ened strike in the Clearfield county coal
regions has been averted. A dispatch
from Bellefonte states that operators and
miners have signed an agreement provid-
ing that the price Of mining from March
is to be SO cents per gross ton of 2.240
pounds,a check weighman is to be employed
on each tipple and his wages are to be col
lected in the offices; pay day is to be the
third Saturday of each month and the
men are to be free to deal in what stores
they please; wages are to be paid in full in
cash after deductions for oil, powder. cot
ton, squibs, fuel, rent and smithing; wages
for dead work are to be settled by the
superintendent and one miner at each mine,
and if they fail to agree, by disin-
terested third party. Other labor is to
be based on the price hitherto ruling
when mining was 80 cents a ton,
the agreement is to continue as long as so
cents a ton and monthly pays continue in
Georges Creek. 1t is eXpecled that the
advance asked by the mners~at Irwin,
Westmoreland county, will be conceded.

those who naturally would have loved to
nestle in his protecting arms. He had con-
verted the paradise of domestic JOY into hell
of nervous apprehension. 1t is just as the
petitioning clergyman says-a man who
willfully desecrates the sanctity of the home
altar over which he presides as priest and
patriarch deserves to be killed. And if
there had been no additional aggravatng
circumstances in this particular case it is
reasonable to suppose that the appeal for
mercy on behalf Of the condemned woman
would not have gone unheeded. But the
evidence justified the belief that if the man
was brute, she was demon. She was re-
sponsible for his brutality in that her conduct
provoked it. If she had been true woman
and loyal wife the brutal instincts OF the
man might never have been aroused. But
she was neither. She was rnfaithful to all
the obligations Of wifehood and mother
hood and by her conduct evoked the helllsh
conditions which prevailed in that family.
Her fiendish treatment of the dead mans
body after she had murdered him shows to
what degrading depths the woman's soul
had been stepped. The hangman couldn't
go amisS in such a case as that. The gal
lows never had more worthy victim and
human society was never rid of a fouler eX
cresence than when this miserable carca-
ture Oh wonlanhood hung suspended be-
tween heaven and earth.
A ridiculous feature OF the execution was
the presence on the gallows of Parson Pow
ELL with his cant and prayers and attempt
ing to convey the impression to the public
mind that Mrs. DRUSE was going straight
from the gallows to eternal glory. His in
vocation that bands OF angels might be
sent, to carry on their snowy wings the
soul of the murderess to the realm of ce-
lestial honors was the climax of profanity.
1t is not because we believe it to be beyond
the range of divine mercy to extend forgive
ness to crime-stained soul that
we regard ParsOn PowELL'S prayer
in the light of profane act;
but it is because it does not comport with
the human idea of divine justice to believe
that woman with her hands reeking in
human blood, and who never exhibited
pentence or gave utterance to a single eX-
preston of remorse for her crime is going
to be admitted to eternal fellowship with
ABRAHAM, ISAAC and JACOB. When a
preacher gets up before multitude and
attempts to create an impression that
heaven is place where saints and unre-
pentent murderers mingle in delightful
communion. he is worse than publican
and sinner. 1t is all right to permit spir-
itual consolation to be administered to con-
demned criminals. but it ought to be in the
cell and not on the gallows. The custom
of allowing ministers to accompany the
murderer to the scaffold should be abated

Indian Treaties.

WASHINGTON, March 5.-The agreement
recently concluded between the Northwest
Indian commission or behalf of the govern
ment and the Indians of the great Black
feet reservation In Northern Montana has
been received at the Indian bureau. Bv
It's terms three separate reservations are
set apart for the permanent homes of the
Indians; one Tor the Fort Peck agency In
dams, another for the Belknap agency In
dams and the third for the Indians of the
Blackfeet agency, each comprising an area
OF about 1900 square miles, leaving an area
estimated to contain about f7.5O0.-
600 acres. a territory about three
times as large as the state OF MARYLAND.
which the Indians ceded TO the United States
in consideration, of the following sums:
For the Fort Peck Indians Sl65, 600 per
annum for ten years; for the Fort Belknap
Indians. Sis, 600 per annum for ten wears:
for the Blackfeet Indians, $50. 900 per an
mum for ten years. The sums are to be ex-
pended under the direction of the secretary
OF the interior in the purchase of stocks for
breeding purposes, subsistence, clothing and
otherwise for the comfort and civilization
OF the Indians. IL is believed by the COM
missioner that the compensation agreed
upon is fair and equitable and sufficient to
place them in position to speedily become
self-supportng and require no further aid

The Annronriafsnns.

WASHINGTON, March 5.-The aggre-
gate of tine appropriation bills passed by
the Forty-ninth congress is about $3.50,
900. 900. The total is exclusive of the sums
appropriated by the river and harbor and
deficiency appropriation bills which failed
of enactment. The appropriations for the
current fiscal year aggregate 1864, 900, 900,
which amount would have been equaled by
the appropriations voted by the
last congress had the two bills
mentioned become laws. Some idea of
the manner in which the Forty-ninth con-
gress wound up its work may
be found in the declaration Of
member of long experience that the
record revealed the fact that one-Quarter
of the legislation of the session had been
enacted in the last few legislative days.
An enrolling clerk of twelve years exper-
fence said that never in that length of time
had he witnessed the haste exhibited in the
last twenty four hours of the congress
which has just expired.

WOMAN HANGING.

The execution of the DRUsE woman has
been the subject of a great deal of public
discussion. principally relative to the JUS
tice of capital punishment, but more spec
ifcaily as to whether or not distinction
ought to be made between male and female
criminals in the execution of capital law.
Capital punishment is of very ancient origin
and has come down to us sanctioned by the
highest authorities. ga life for life' was
the text of the law which was handed to
MOSES amid the smoke and thunders of
Sinai. From that day to this every form of
human jurisprudence has recognized the
justice of the divine decree. Now and
then communities give way to false senti-
mentalism and suspend capital punish
ment for a time, but almost invariably re-
store it after short suspension. 1t is
demonstrated to be the only adequate means
to suppress the higher grades of crime. The
discussion which has resulted from the
DRUsE ease has resulted in pretty firmly
settled conviction that there should be no
discrimination of sexes in administering the
law, and Gov. Hills refusal to interpose
executive clemency in behalf of the DRUsE
woman is generally commended.
Among the numerous appeals made to
Gov. HILL asking for communication of the
death sentence to Imprisonment for life.
there was only one that presented any
thing like a valid reason. That was the
petition of a Lutheran clergyman, who
based his appeal for mercy for the con-
demned woman on the ground that the
brutal husband deserved to be killed. The
murdered man was brute in his family.
He never had kind word for wife or chill
dren. Curses and blows were all that the
family received from one whose duty it was
to be their protector. His presence in the
household was constant source of dread to

Bishop, the nd-lseader, Gives IA
Remarkable Exhibition of His
Powers.
New YORK, March 5.-Washington Irv-
ing Bishop. the famous mnd-reader, gave
peculiarly trying test of his power this aft
ernoon at the Hoffman house, in the pres
ence of members of the press, of the theat-
rical profession, doctors. lawyers and edi-
tors. He borrowed brooch from Mrs.
Frank Leslie. which he gave to a
committee of four gentlemen pre-
viously chosen from the audience, telling
them to conceal it anywhere within mile
of the hotel. The committee drove off i'll
carriage. returning after half hours alb
sence. Bishop was then blindfolded. This
was done by tying cotton batting around
his eyes. Then black bag was put over
his head and fastened around his neck. A
two-seated open carriage was wait
Bishop and three members of the
committee took seats, and Bishop took
the reigns and drove off through great
crowd of persons and vehicles, guiding the
horses with remarkable deXterity, consid-
ering that he could not use his eyes. He
drove over devious route. and near the
southeast corner of Gramercy park stopped
the vehicle and alighted, the committee fol-
lowing. A large crowd had run after the
wagon all the way from the Hoffman
house and Bishop had hard work making
his way through the throng that
flocked about him. He crossed the
street and proceeded on foot to Gramercy
Park, until he reached the entrance to the
Gramercy Park hotel, into which he turned
without hesitation; walked into room and
placed his hand on vase which rested upon
a table. He held his hand before it a few
seconds, and then requested that the vase
be removed. His wishes were complied
with, and he picked the brooch up where it
had been left by the committee.
